Newcastle UV Street Art
Check out this wicked piece of street art I discovered just off Hunter Street Mall while running through the rain with a broken umbrella in Newcastle. I had passed it unknowingly by day and it appeared to be a rather unremarkable design of old film stars along a disused building. However by night the secret street art was revealed! Under …
Mystery Bus Debrief – Week 2
Mystery Bus Week 2 was a big ramp up on energy levels with a smörgåsbord of three different themed events.

Sydney Opera House Open Day
Though feeling a little under the weather, I had a fun time performing at Sydney Opera House Open Day yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny Spring day with a great turn out of over 40,000 people, many of whom had never been to Sydney Opera House before. I was privileged enough to get to alternate between performing as the dragon …
Saturday Night Train Fun

This was perfectly timed for me to encounter all the bogans from the Central Coast and North on their drunken way home. Wonderful. Being …

The beautiful and intriguing dance works its magical way from the cathedral stairs to the pond before eventually …
Yarn Graffiti in Amsterdam, Holland
A pretty little piece of guerrilla knitting I happened upon while strolling one of Amsterdam’s many canals. It was perched right there above the ‘Homomonument’ which I can only suppose is a tribute to the world’s homosexuals. For those of you in Sydney, there are a number of wool based installations around the city at the moment for the annual …
Mystery Bus Debrief – Week #1
Time to recap on the awesomeness that was Mystery Bus. After 7 nights, 4 newspaper articles, 1 radio interview, 36 artists, hundreds of audience members, and one bus, Mystery Bus 2011 is finally over. It has been an incredible, exhausting,chaotic and extremely rewarding experience to participate in the Sydney Fringe Festival with such an awesome show and awesome team. Thank …
Dancehall Queens 2010
Once I asked a co-worker if she wanted to go to a ‘Dancehall night’. She said yes, and it was too late to realise there had been a misunderstanding, and I was not, in fact, referring to a nostalgic partners dance. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBvdQYh8OHk] My favourite part is at 3:52, where the woman who is not endowed with a particularly large booty …
